Of recent my wife fell backwards down the stairs and struck her head on the hardwood floors in our foyer. She fractured her skull and as a result had a brain bleed, she also broke her arm, lost some hearing in her left ear, and has lost her sense of smell and consequently her taste. As expected due to the trauma she is also experiencing a some short term memory issues...

She sems to be healing well and remains quite positive however I am asking for prayers and advice as to certain protocols, etc that might speed her recovery. She is an A +, do not know if a secretor or not.

Cheers from Golfzilla!

If you keep doing what you've always done, and you keep getting what you've aways got, perhaps it's time for a change...

I am so sorry for your wife. Yes, I will pray for her recovery. I don't really know of any protocols right now. My husband was in a terrible accident years ago, and with the help of doctors, prayer, and time, he recovered.

Thanks DL, glad to hear of his recovery - cheers!

Taking a look at the list of protocol options, I can see why you're not sure which one to choose. There isn't an "injury support protocol". The nerve health protocol might be appropriate since she seems to have some nerve damage (short term memory loss, loss of taste/smell) but the post-surgury support may also be appropriate since the injury is traumatic in a similar way that surgury is traumatic. Or maybe blood-building if she lost a lot of blood in the injury.

Perhaps take a look at all the potentialy appropriate protocols, and see if they have any supplements in common. If so, those supplements are probably appropriate.

The "protocol" web-page says to use the Encyclopedia for figuring out when to use which protocol. If you have that on hand, you may want to read through it and see if you can get more direction from there.

I am so sorry this has happened to your wife! I hope her recovery continues to progress. It seems that avoiding a stroke is a major issue after such an injury. No doubt at all that the doctors are addressing this one. I'm sure your wife's positive attitude will go a long way in helping her recovery. How long has it been since her fall?

Sorry to hear about your wife's injury. I agree with the Cognitive protocol, and as well the Nerve support and Post Surgery protocols.

Lola's suggestion of adding Trehalose is a good one as it will stimulate cellular cleansing whether from this injury or in general...

RG, Hope you have been well! Great thought relative to the supplements in common. I will look into this tonight. Thanks!

ABJ,Yes! Great suggestions, again I will do so this evening. She is not on the BTD/GTD (yet) but now that she cannot taste I am feeding her all bene smoothies. I just don't tell her what is in them Cheers from Atlanta!

My youngest son just had a concussion and the sports doctors all told him he needed to build Lego, built models do puzzles in order to rebuild the connections in the brain.

He is not allowed to watch TV, computers etc for long periods of time. He is also supposed to keep his blood pressure and heart rate down until the head rushes and lack of balance stops. He is allowed to get on a stationary bike, but if he feels any symptoms he has to quit. Minimum 10-12 weeks for recovery.

Golfzilla,Glad to hear your wife was able to at least get our on the golf course with you. I played for the first time this year yesterday - in the 80s here in Massachusetts - unbelievable. Course was in perfect shape and not even officially open yet.

Jean,Sorry to hear about your son. Hope he's doing better. Was it from a sports injury?Jane

Sure hope he is healing well, many positive thoughts for you both!
